在实例实施方式中,票据处理装置1450包括选择性可移动门1468。门1468可通过前面讨论的一个或多个驱动器选择性移动。在实例实施方式中,票据处理装置可选择性操作为在适合具体用户的角度位置(如箭头H和L所表示的)接收或投递票据。因此,例如,如果自动银行机1440被定位成与免下车车道相邻,在高的车辆(诸如小货车)中的用户可沿向上角倾斜的方向往票据处理装置中投递或从中接收票据。同样地,在相对低的车辆中的人可沿大致水平方向或者稍微向下的方向接收和投递票据。In an example embodiment, theticket processing device 1450 includes a selectivelymovable door 1468 .Door 1468 is selectively movable by one or more of the actuators discussed above. In an example embodiment, the ticket handling device is selectively operable to receive or deliver tickets at angular positions (as represented by arrows H and L) suitable for a particular user. Thus, for example, ifautomated banking machine 1440 is positioned adjacent to a drive-thru lane, a user in a tall vehicle, such as a pickup, may drop or receive notes into or from the note handling device in an upwardly sloping direction. Likewise, a person in a relatively low vehicle may receive and deliver tickets in a generally horizontal or slightly downward direction.

在实例实施方式中,机器的至少一个处理器1466可根据其程序操作为评估票据处理装置接受车中用户的票据和投递票据给该用户的合适位置。这一点可以这样做到,例如,响应于分析通过一个或多个摄像头1460的操作采集到的图像来确定位于机器附近的车内用户的相对垂直位置。可替代地,至少一个处理器可根据其程序操作为评估车辆的各种特征(诸如车梁、车顶或者其他能够指示车高的车辆特征)的位置。随后,至少一个处理器可根据其程序操作为调节票据处理装置的操作,以使之达到合适的水平。In an example embodiment, the at least oneprocessor 1466 of the machine is operable according to its programming to evaluate a suitable location for the ticket processing device to accept and deliver the ticket to the user in the vehicle. This may be done, for example, in response to analyzing images captured by operation of one or more cameras 1460 to determine the relative vertical position of an in-vehicle user located in the vicinity of the machine. Alternatively, at least one processor may be operative in accordance with its programming to evaluate the position of various features of the vehicle, such as beams, roof, or other vehicle features that are indicative of vehicle height. Subsequently, the at least one processor is operative in accordance with its programming to adjust the operation of the ticket handling device to the appropriate level.

可替代地或者另外,实例自动银行机1440可操作为使用美国专利8,220,706中描述的类型的特征,在此通过引用将其全部内容结合于本文中。该机器的这种实例实施方式可操作为通过分析由一个或多个摄像头1460采集的图像来定位用户眼睛的位置。随后,可追踪用户眼睛的位置,以便确定票据处理装置接受和投递票据的合适位置。这些特征可被用于免下车的机器或者室内单位中,其可有效地将票据接受和投递给不同高度的人和/或坐在轮椅中的人。可替代地和/或另外,机器也可以以所结合的公开的方式操作为通过眼睛追踪分析来接收用户输入,并且使这样的用户输入控制机器运行的一个或多个方面。当然这些方法仅为实例,并且在其他实施方式中,可使用其他方法。Alternatively or additionally, the exampleautomated banking machine 1440 is operable to use features of the type described in US Pat. No. 8,220,706, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This example implementation of the machine is operable to locate the position of the user's eyes by analyzing images captured by one or more cameras 1460 . Subsequently, the position of the user's eyes can be tracked in order to determine the appropriate location for the receipt and delivery of the ticket by the ticket processing device. These features can be used in drive-through machines or indoor units that can efficiently accept and deliver tickets to people of varying heights and/or people in wheelchairs. Alternatively and/or additionally, the machine may also operate in the incorporated disclosed manner to receive user input through eye tracking analysis, and cause such user input to control one or more aspects of the operation of the machine. Of course these methods are merely examples, and in other embodiments, other methods may be used.

It should be understood that for the purposes of this disclosure, the terms "cabinet" and "container" are used interchangeably. Automated banking machines may include multiple cabinets. In the example shown, thecabinet 1500 is a document storage cabinet that can issue documents as well as receive documents. Of course, it should be understood that the principles described can be used for cabinets that operate only to issue documents as well as cabinets that operate to only receive documents. The cabinet that operates to receive documents may be similar to the cabinet described in US Patent Application 13/461,258, filed May 1, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Of course, many different types of cabinet mechanisms and structures can be used, depending on the specific type of automated banking machine involved.

实例机柜1500包括存储文件的内部区域1502。在此实例机柜中,示出了两堆文件1504和1506。这些文件可以是诸如货币票据、支票、代金券、购物卡、优惠券或者其他项目的票据,这取决于该机器的性质和要进行的交易。该实例机柜在其内部区域还包括两个机构1508和1510。这些实例机构操作为将票据堆叠成文件堆,并且选择性地从文件堆中选取票据。在一些实施方式中,这些堆叠或拾取机构可包括类似美国专利6,331000中示出的特征,通过引用将其全部内容结合于本文中。实例机构可操作为从关联文件堆中选择性地移除票据,该票据可通过传送装置1512移动至开口1514。文件可从机柜外的开口被移动至与另一个传送装置1516接合,传送装置1516可将文件传至机器内的另一个位置,以待处理。类似地,在传送装置1516上传送的文件可被引导至开口1514,并由传送装置1512进行传送。通往机柜的与传送装置1512接合的文件可选择性地引导至堆叠-拾取机构1508或1510。票据与以堆叠模式操作的机构的接合将使票据一致储存至各自的文件堆。应该注意的是,虽然实例机柜包括两个堆叠和拾取机构,其他机柜可包括不同数量的这种机构或者接收文件、分配文件或执行两种功能的机构。一些实例实施方式可包括在美国专利7,891,554中公开的特征,通过引用将其全部内容结合于本文中。Theexample cabinet 1500 includes aninterior area 1502 in which files are stored. In this example cabinet, two stacks offiles 1504 and 1506 are shown. These documents may be documents such as currency notes, checks, vouchers, shopping cards, coupons or other items, depending on the nature of the machine and the transaction to be performed. The example cabinet also includes twomechanisms 1508 and 1510 in its interior area. These example mechanisms operate to stack sheets into document piles, and to selectively select documents from the document piles. In some embodiments, these stacking or picking mechanisms may include features similar to those shown in US Pat. No. 6,331,000, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An example mechanism is operable to selectively remove a sheet from the associated stack, which sheet may be moved to opening 1514 byconveyor 1512 . From the opening outside the cabinet, the document can be moved into engagement with anotherconveyor 1516, which can transfer the document to another location within the machine for processing. Similarly, documents conveyed onconveyor 1516 may be directed toopening 1514 and conveyed byconveyor 1512. Documents engaged withconveyor 1512 leading to the cabinet may be selectively directed to stack-pick mechanism 1508 or 1510 . The engagement of the sheets with the mechanism operating in the stacking mode will cause the sheets to be stored in unison to their respective stacks. It should be noted that while the example cabinet includes two stacking and picking mechanisms, other cabinets may include a different number of such mechanisms or mechanisms that receive documents, dispense documents, or perform both functions. Some example embodiments may include features disclosed in US Pat. No. 7,891,554, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

实例机柜1500还包括多个其他特征和组件。打开和关闭开口1514的门1518可通过机柜内的致动器1520选择性移动。致动器1520操作为在打开和关闭的位置之间移动门。当机柜被移出机器时,致动器可操作为使使门处于关闭位置。关上该门可保护机柜,以便机柜以遮蔽文件的方式被传送,同时减少非授权接近文件和移除文件的风险。在实例实施方式中,驱动器可包括机电致动器,诸如螺线管、电机、气缸或者适合给予运动的其他驱动机构。进一步地,实例机柜可包括其他类型的致动器,例如移动堆叠和拾取机构的组件的电机、传送装置的驱动组件等。Example cabinet 1500 also includes a number of other features and components. Thedoor 1518 that opens and closes theopening 1514 can be selectively moved by anactuator 1520 within the cabinet. Theactuator 1520 operates to move the door between open and closed positions. The actuator is operable to place the door in a closed position when the cabinet is moved out of the machine. Closing the door protects the cabinet from being transported in a manner that obscures documents, while reducing the risk of unauthorized access and removal of documents. In example embodiments, the drives may include electromechanical actuators, such as solenoids, motors, cylinders, or other drive mechanisms suitable for imparting motion. Further, example cabinets may include other types of actuators, such as motors that move components of stacking and picking mechanisms, drive components of conveyors, and the like.

The sensors shown schematically can be used in various types of cabinets for a variety of different purposes. For example, sensors may be used to sense the position of documents in a stack of documents or the position of documents moving along a conveyor. Sensors may also be used to sense the position of doors, pick-up mechanisms, stacking mechanisms, or other structures movable within the machine. In some embodiments, sensors may also be used to detect the status of lids, doors, diverters, or other components on the cabinet. Other sensors may be used for the purpose of detecting movement, cabinet positioning, or other aspects of the cabinet or its components. For these purposes, sensors may include optical sensors, magnetic sensors, Hall effect sensors, acoustic wave sensors, thermal sensors, vibration sensors, proximity sensors, and any other type of sensor that can be used to detect a specific situation within a specific cabinet to be detected.

该实例机柜还包括在机柜或自动银行机的操作中可使用的另外的特征。例如,这些另外的特征可包括电池1534。在一些实施方式中,电池1534可以是可充电电池,而在其他一些实施方式中是不可充电电池。该电池1534可用于为机柜电路、致动器、传感器或机柜内的其他部件供电的目的。其他实例部件可包括示意性指示为1536的文件销毁设备。文件销毁设备1536可包括响应于检测到某些状况时发出的信号而选择性地被致动以销毁机柜1500和/或机柜内的文件的设备。文件销毁设备可包括例如染料包、燃烧装置或者其他为响应其驱动适合使机柜1500内文件无效或毁坏的装置。无论机柜与自动银行机在一起或者分离,在机柜显得已经被盗用或者被偷的情况下,文件销毁设备可被致动。This example cabinet also includes additional features that may be used in the operation of the cabinet or automated banking machine. These additional features may includebattery 1534, for example. In some embodiments, thebattery 1534 may be a rechargeable battery, and in some other embodiments a non-rechargeable battery. Thebattery 1534 may be used for purposes of powering cabinet circuits, actuators, sensors, or other components within the cabinet. Other example components may include a document destruction device, indicated schematically at 1536.Document destruction device 1536 may include a device that is selectively actuated to destroycabinet 1500 and/or documents within the cabinet in response to a signal issued upon detection of certain conditions. Document destruction equipment may include, for example, dye packs, burners, or other devices suitable for invalidating or destroying documents withinrack 1500 in response to their actuation. Whether the cabinet is together or separate from the automated banking machine, the document destruction device can be activated in the event that the cabinet appears to have been embezzled or stolen.

This may include, for example, a communication device schematically indicated at 1538. In some embodiments, thecommunication device 1538 may comprise an RF-type communication device that may transmit and/or receive data. Some cabinets with communication equipment can communicate with other equipment within the machine. Alternatively or additionally, in other embodiments, the communication device may comprise a cellular modem or other wireless communication device capable of independently communicating with the automated banking machine. These features may be used for the purpose of passing data related to documents held in the cabinet to circuitry in the automated banking machine. In other arrangements, the communication device is operable to communicate the whereabouts of the cabinet being transported or in operation so that the cabinet and documents in the cabinet can be tracked and described during machine operation, cabinet loading and/or transport. Many useful data items associated with tracking and managing tickets or other documents can be communicated through the operation of the communication device. Of course example cabinets may include other suitable or useful equipment associated with their operation.

实例机柜1500包括示意性指示为1540的至少一个线圈。线圈1540可操作为与机柜电路连接,并且在实例实施方式中,线圈1540可操作为与处理器、文件存储器、传感器和与机柜电路连接的其他设备连接。虽然一些实例机柜只有一个这样的线圈和香港电路,但只要适用于机柜电路执行的功能,其他实例机柜可包括多个线圈和电路。在机器内的机柜1500的操作位置中,每个线圈1540接近机器(或初级)线圈1542。线圈1542是通电线圈,该线圈与自动银行机的至少一个驱动电路关联。通电线圈或多个线圈1542可操作为创造电磁场,其可操作为通过电感在线圈或多个线圈1540中产生电力。用这种方法,机柜电路和与之连接的设备可被供以电力,而不需要使用接线器或其他类似设备,此类设备需要额外的工作以便在机柜安装时连接,并且在机柜拆下机器时拆除。进一步地,在一些实施方式中,这种无线连接也可提供更大的可靠性,因为不需要会损坏、分离或失效的接线器。在所示的实例布置中,与机器和机柜关联的各个线圈的位置可被定位成彼此相邻,使得存在小的空气间隙,在实例实施方式中,该间隙在10毫米范围内。线圈或多个线圈1540可位于与机柜的底面1544相邻,而线圈或多个线圈1542被定位成与支撑面1546相邻,该支撑面支撑机器内部区域内处于操作位置的机柜。当然,该布置仅为实例,也可使用其他线圈布置和位置。Example cabinet 1500 includes at least one coil, indicated schematically at 1540 . Thecoil 1540 is operable to connect with the cabinet circuit, and in example embodiments, thecoil 1540 is operable to connect with the processor, file storage, sensors, and other devices connected to the cabinet circuit. While some example cabinets have only one such coil and Hong Kong circuit, other example cabinets may include multiple coils and circuits as long as it is suitable for the function performed by the cabinet circuit. In the operating position of thecabinet 1500 within the machine, eachcoil 1540 is proximate to a machine (or primary)coil 1542 .Coil 1542 is an energized coil associated with at least one drive circuit of the automated banking machine. The energized coil orcoils 1542 is operable to create an electromagnetic field, which is operable to generate electrical power in the coil orcoils 1540 through inductance. In this way, the cabinet circuit and the equipment connected to it can be powered without the use of connectors or other similar equipment that requires extra work to connect during cabinet installation and remove the machine when the cabinet is installed. removed when. Further, in some embodiments, such a wireless connection may also provide greater reliability since connectors that can break, detach, or fail are not required. In the example arrangement shown, the locations of the various coils associated with the machine and cabinet may be positioned adjacent to each other such that there is a small air gap, in the example embodiment, in the range of 10 millimeters. The coil orcoils 1540 may be located adjacent to thebottom surface 1544 of the cabinet, while the coil orcoils 1542 may be positioned adjacent to asupport surface 1546 that supports the cabinet in an operational position within the interior area of the machine. Of course, this arrangement is only an example, and other coil arrangements and positions may also be used.

在实例实施方式中,可在线圈中产生的电气特性也可用于机器和机柜中的电路之间的通信。通过下文描述的方法可做到这一点,以便使机器能够将指令和/或数据传递给机柜1500,并且使机柜1500能够将数据和/或指令传递给机器。在实例实施方式中,与线圈1542或机器内的多个线圈关联的驱动电路操作为通过可被检测为机柜内的线圈或多个线圈的电气特性的变化选择性地改变由线圈产生的磁场强度。这些改变可被解译为与传输的信息(其可被机柜电路检测及利用)相对应的二进制数据。进一步地,在实例实施方式中,机柜电路操作为响应于处理器改变与机柜关联的一个或多个线圈1540的谐振频率。通过与机器关联的多个线圈1542的操作,可检测到该谐振频率的变化,使得在机器的运行中,二进制数据可被接收和利用。In an example embodiment, the electrical properties that can be produced in the coils can also be used for communication between the machine and the circuits in the cabinet. This may be done by the methods described below to enable the machine to communicate instructions and/or data to theenclosure 1500 and to enable theenclosure 1500 to communicate data and/or instructions to the machine. In an example embodiment, a drive circuit associated withcoil 1542 or a plurality of coils within a machine is operative to selectively alter the strength of the magnetic field produced by the coil through a change in electrical properties of the coil or plurality of coils that may be detected as within the cabinet . These changes can be interpreted as binary data corresponding to the transmitted information, which can be detected and utilized by the rack circuit. Further, in example embodiments, the cabinet circuit operates to vary the resonant frequency of one ormore coils 1540 associated with the cabinet in response to the processor. Through the operation of the plurality ofcoils 1542 associated with the machine, changes in this resonant frequency can be detected so that binary data can be received and utilized during operation of the machine.

图4示意性示出了用于实例实施方式的自动银行机和机柜的电路。驱动电路1548可操作为向线圈1542提供电力。驱动电路包括与电容器1552串联的半桥MOSFET驱动器1550。电容器1552与线圈1542的串联产生谐振频率。驱动电路进一步包括现场可编程门列阵(FPGA)和/或处理器1554。FPGA或处理器与MOSFET驱动器1550操作性连接。在实例实施方式中,FPGA或处理器1554与和机器关联的一个或多个其他处理器1556操作性连接。一个或多个处理器1556与一个或多个数据存储器1558关联。在一些实施方式中,处理器1556可以是自动银行机终端处理器,其可操作为使机器内的其他设备运行。这些设备可包括例如读卡器、显示屏、现金提款机、现金循环机、支票接收设备和/或其他与银行机关联的致动器或设备。可替代地,在一些实施方式中,处理器1556可与特定子电路关联,该子电路与机柜的特定驱动电路关联。各种方法可结合不同的布置使用。Figure 4 schematically illustrates circuitry for an automated banking machine and cabinet of an example embodiment. Thedriver circuit 1548 is operable to provide power to thecoil 1542 . The driver circuit includes a half-bridge MOSFET driver 1550 in series withcapacitor 1552 . The series connection ofcapacitor 1552 andcoil 1542 produces the resonant frequency. The driver circuit further includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and/or processor 1554 . The FPGA or processor is operatively connected to theMOSFET driver 1550 . In an example embodiment, the FPGA or processor 1554 is operatively connected to one or moreother processors 1556 associated with the machine. One ormore processors 1556 are associated with one ormore data stores 1558 . In some embodiments, theprocessor 1556 may be an automated banking machine terminal processor operable to operate other devices within the machine. These devices may include, for example, card readers, display screens, cash dispensers, cash recycling machines, check accepting devices, and/or other actuators or devices associated with banking machines. Alternatively, in some implementations, theprocessor 1556 may be associated with a specific subcircuit that is associated with a specific drive circuit of the cabinet. Various methods can be used in conjunction with different arrangements.

在实例实施方式中,FPGA或处理器1554可操作为输出方波脉冲信号。该方波脉冲信号被馈入MOSFET驱动器1500,以产生与电容器和线圈关联的串联谐振频率相对接近的频率。在实例实施方式中,选取的频率接近谐振频率,但是倾向于高于或低于谐振值。在一个实例实施方式中,这样做是因为谐振时会产生更难控制的高电压和高电流。但是,应该理解,在一些可替代实施方式中,在谐振上操作可以是可取的,在这些实施方式中,与出于通信或其他功能的目的而控制相反,期望最大功率输送。In an example embodiment, the FPGA or processor 1554 is operable to output a square wave pulse signal. This square wave pulsed signal is fed into theMOSFET driver 1500 to produce a frequency relatively close to the series resonant frequency associated with the capacitor and coil. In an example embodiment, the selected frequency is close to the resonant frequency, but tends to be above or below the resonant value. In one example embodiment, this is done because higher voltages and higher currents are produced at resonance which are more difficult to control. However, it should be understood that operating on resonance may be desirable in some alternative embodiments in which maximum power delivery is desired as opposed to controlling for communication or other functional purposes.

在驱动电路的实例实施方式中,提供用于监控初级线圈中的电气特性的组件。这些组件为FPGA或处理器提供反馈,该FPGA或驱动器提供驱动MOSFET驱动器的方波信号。在实例实施方式中,这些提供反馈的组件包括信号包络检测组件1560、带通滤波器1562、信号增益级1564和比较器1566。在实例实施方式中,通过监控与线圈1542关联的电气信号特性,并把该信息反馈给驱动串联的电容器和线圈的FPGA或处理器1554,以下文所描述的方式实现有效的电力输送和通信。In an example embodiment of a drive circuit, components are provided for monitoring electrical characteristics in the primary coil. These components provide feedback to the FPGA or processor, which provides the square wave signal that drives the MOSFET driver. In an example embodiment, these feedback-providing components include a signalenvelope detection component 1560 , abandpass filter 1562 , asignal gain stage 1564 , and acomparator 1566 . In an example embodiment, by monitoring the electrical signal characteristics associated with thecoil 1542 and feeding this information back to the FPGA or processor 1554 driving the capacitors and coils in series, efficient power delivery and communication is achieved in the manner described below.

当机柜放置于机器内的操作位置时,机柜内的线圈1540磁耦合于线圈1542。线圈的该磁耦合使在次级线圈1540中感应地产生电力。由于被用来为线圈1542供电的方波信号,线圈1540内的感应电压是AC电压。这种AC电压通过全桥整流器1568和滤波电容器1570馈送。产生的DC电压被馈入整体指示为1572的机柜电路中的其他组件,其包括之前讨论过的组件。另外,实例机柜电路1572包括电源调节器1574、实时时钟1576、示意性指示为1578的传感器和设备接口。当然,这也可包括其他组件和合适的接口,这取决于包括在机柜电路内的具体设备。Coil 1540 within the cabinet is magnetically coupled tocoil 1542 when the cabinet is placed in an operating position within the machine. This magnetic coupling of the coils causes power to be generated inductively in thesecondary coil 1540 . Due to the square wave signal used to power thecoil 1542, the voltage induced within thecoil 1540 is an AC voltage. This AC voltage is fed throughfull bridge rectifier 1568 andfilter capacitor 1570 . The resulting DC voltage is fed into other components in the cabinet circuit generally designated 1572, including those discussed earlier. Additionally, theexample cabinet circuit 1572 includes apower conditioner 1574 , a real-time clock 1576 , sensors and device interfaces indicated schematically at 1578 . Of course, this may also include other components and suitable interfaces, depending on the specific equipment included within the enclosure circuit.

线圈1540与电容器1570之间的并联产生具有并联谐振的电路。机柜的线圈和并联电容器的元件值被选择为使并联谐振频率大致与驱动电路的串联谐振频率匹配。由于驱动电路1548操作为接近驱动电路的串联谐振频率,这实现线圈1542和1540之间的有效电力传输。如前文所述,在该实例实施方式中,驱动电路不操作在谐振频率处,而是布置为接近谐振的频率,以避免过高的电压和电流。然而,在其他实施方式中,可能期望谐振频率操作以获得最大功率输送。The parallel connection betweencoil 1540 andcapacitor 1570 creates a circuit with parallel resonance. Component values for the coils and shunt capacitors of the cabinet are chosen so that the parallel resonant frequency approximately matches the series resonant frequency of the drive circuit. This enables efficient power transfer betweencoils 1542 and 1540 because thedrive circuit 1548 operates close to the series resonant frequency of the drive circuit. As previously mentioned, in this example embodiment, the drive circuit does not operate at the resonant frequency, but is arranged close to the resonant frequency to avoid excessive voltages and currents. However, in other embodiments, resonant frequency operation may be desired for maximum power delivery.

实例实施方式的机柜电路1572进一步包括用于监控电路内的电气特性的组件,包括线圈1540。这些组件与前文所述的与驱动电路关联的组件类似。它们包括包络检测组件1580和带通滤波器1582。所述组件进一步包括增益级1584和比较器1586。这些组件出于达到电力输送和通信的目的使机柜电路的处理器能够监控电气特性。Thecabinet circuit 1572 of the example embodiment further includes components for monitoring electrical characteristics within the circuit, including thecoil 1540 . These components are similar to those previously described in connection with the driver circuit. They include envelope detection component 1580 andbandpass filter 1582. The components further includegain stage 1584 andcomparator 1586 . These components enable the processor of the cabinet circuit to monitor electrical characteristics for power delivery and communication purposes.

在实例实施方式中,在机柜和驱动电路1548之间以无线方式实现双向通信。这可通过控制相应线圈1540和1542中的电气特性的变化做到这一点。这促进了至或从机柜和机器的数据通信而不需要另外的电连接器或组件。当然,应该理解的是,在一些实施方式中,可提供用于机柜与自动银行机或其他系统之间的有线或无线通信方式的另外组件。In an example embodiment, two-way communication is implemented wirelessly between the cabinet and thedriver circuit 1548 . This can be done by controlling changes in the electrical characteristics in therespective coils 1540 and 1542. This facilitates data communication to or from cabinets and machines without the need for additional electrical connectors or components. Of course, it should be understood that in some embodiments, additional components may be provided for wired or wireless means of communication between the cabinet and the automated banking machine or other system.

在实例实施方式中,通过改变线圈1542中产生的磁场强度(其可被线圈1540和机柜电路感测为电压振幅的改变)来实现由机器传输至机柜的数据通信。在该实例中,这一点可通过使控制半桥MOSFET驱动器的方波脉冲信号在两个不同频率之间改变来做到。通过使信号在两个频率之间变化所产生的电压振幅的变化可产生逻辑电平0和1,以获得从驱动电路传递至机柜的数据的二进制表示。与传输的数据对应的变化可由一个或多个处理器1556控制,该处理器通过适当的电路与FPGA或处理器1554进行通信。该处理器和/或关联电路可引起频率的变化,以便产生传输至机柜的二进制数据。机柜可操作为感测线圈1542的磁场强度变化。这些变化会引起机柜的线圈1540中的电压振幅的改变。这些电压振幅的改变可经由被操作为监控包括线圈的电路中的电气特性的电路来检测。这些变化通过处理器1522的操作来解译。之后,通过处理器的操作利用传输的数据,以便提供适当的程序或执行程序功能。这些被传输的数据还可引起机柜操作的变化。这些被传输的数据还可使机柜递送储存在机柜中的数据作为至驱动电路的传输数据以方便机器的操作。In an example embodiment, data communication from the machine to the cabinet is accomplished by varying the strength of the magnetic field generated in thecoil 1542, which can be sensed by thecoil 1540 and the cabinet circuitry as a change in voltage amplitude. In this example, this can be done by varying the square wave pulse signal that controls the half-bridge MOSFET driver between two different frequencies. The change in voltage amplitude produced by varying the signal between two frequencies produces logic levels 0 and 1 to obtain a binary representation of the data passed from the driver circuit to the enclosure. Changes corresponding to the transmitted data may be controlled by one ormore processors 1556 in communication with the FPGA or processor 1554 through appropriate circuitry. The processor and/or associated circuitry may cause changes in frequency to generate binary data for transmission to the enclosure. The cabinet is operable to sense changes in the magnetic field strength of thecoil 1542 . These changes cause changes in the voltage amplitudes in thecoils 1540 of the cabinet. Changes in these voltage amplitudes can be detected via circuitry operative to monitor electrical characteristics in the circuitry including the coils. These changes are interpreted by the operation ofprocessor 1522. The transferred data is then utilized by the operation of the processor in order to provide the appropriate program or execute program functions. These transmitted data can also cause changes in the operation of the enclosure. These transmitted data may also enable the rack to deliver data stored in the rack as transmission data to the drive circuit to facilitate the operation of the machine.

在一些实施方式中,被传输至机柜的数据可包括与包含在机柜中的文件类型、文件数量、文件特性、文件所有权、对文件处理负责的实体有关的信息、与机柜特性或机柜操作有关的信息、以及用于致动器、传感器或包含在机柜内的其他设备的操作的程序指令。当然,这些被传输的数据项仅为实例,并且在其他实施方式中,也可使用其他数据项。进一步地,这些被传输的数据项还可包括例如与机器和机柜之间的安全通信关联的数据,以及与后文要讨论的被传输的数据的加密关联的可使用的数据。In some embodiments, the data transmitted to the enclosure may include information about the type of files contained in the enclosure, the number of files, the characteristics of the files, the ownership of the files, the entity responsible for the processing of the files, the characteristics of the enclosures or the operation of the enclosures. information, and program instructions for the operation of actuators, sensors, or other equipment contained within the enclosure. Of course, these transmitted data items are only examples, and in other implementations, other data items may be used. Further, these transmitted data items may also include, for example, data associated with secure communications between machines and cabinets, as well as usable data associated with encryption of the transmitted data discussed below.

在实例实施方式中,机柜还可操作为将被传输的数据传递给驱动电路1548。通过其传输的数据可被一个或多个处理器或自动银行机的其他设备接收。在实例实施方式中,这可使用幅移键控法来实现。在示出的实例中,机柜处理器1522操作为选择性地将电容负载1588从线圈1540和电容器1570的并联布置中接通和断开。响应于处理器1522的操作经由开关组件1522接通和断开电容负载。当处理器1522操作为使电容负载1588接通时,线圈和机柜电路的谐振频率改变。这种改变在线圈1542的电气特性中被感测为电压振幅的改变。这些电压振幅的改变对应0和1,其与从机柜发送的传输数据的二进制形式对应。在实例实施方式中,来自机柜的传输数据被传输到至少一个处理器1556,这些数据可用于自动银行机的操作、控制和记录保持。In an example embodiment, the cabinet is also operable to pass the transmitted data to thedriver circuit 1548 . Data transmitted therethrough may be received by one or more processors or other devices of the automated banking machine. In an example embodiment, this may be accomplished using an amplitude shift keying method. In the illustrated example, therack processor 1522 operates to selectively switch thecapacitive load 1588 on and off from the parallel arrangement of thecoil 1540 andcapacitor 1570 . Capacitive loads are switched on and off viaswitch assembly 1522 in response to operation ofprocessor 1522 . When theprocessor 1522 operates to turn on thecapacitive load 1588, the resonant frequency of the coil and the cabinet circuit changes. This change is sensed in the electrical properties ofcoil 1542 as a change in voltage amplitude. These voltage amplitude changes correspond to 0s and 1s, which correspond to the binary form of the transmission data sent from the cabinet. In an example embodiment, transmission data from the cabinet is transmitted to at least oneprocessor 1556, which data may be used for the operation, control, and record keeping of the automated banking machine.

在特定的实施方式中,从机柜传输的数据包括诸如文件类型、文件数量、文件特性、时间值、机柜标识符、机柜特性、机柜寿命信息、机柜周期信息、机柜所有权数据、机柜历史或其他信息的数据。应该理解,这些项为实例,并且在其他实施方式中,可传递其他类型的数据。进一步地,在一些实施方式中,可包括与传输的数据的认证与加密关联的额外数据。In certain embodiments, the data transmitted from the enclosure includes information such as file type, number of files, file characteristics, time values, enclosure identifiers, enclosure characteristics, enclosure age information, enclosure cycle information, enclosure ownership data, enclosure history, or other information The data. It should be understood that these items are examples and that in other implementations, other types of data may be communicated. Further, in some embodiments, additional data associated with the authentication and encryption of the transmitted data may be included.

应该理解,虽然在示出的实例实施方式中,数据传输和通信与一对线圈关联,在其他实施方式中,可使用多种线圈布置。这些布置可包括多个驱动电路和机柜电路。另外,虽然在本实例电路中,可通过公共线圈实现电力传输和通信,在其他实施方式中,某些线圈对可用于通信,而其他线圈对用于电力传输。在一些实施方式中,可通过将用于最大功率传输的某些电路操作在谐振频率处以获得最大功率传输来达到机柜电路的感应供电,而其他电路则用于通信并且操作在邻近一个或多个谐振频率的频率处。当然,采取的方法将取决于与具体机柜关联的具体电路和电力要求。另外,应该理解,虽然实例实施方式被描述为与向自动银行机内的机柜无线提供电力关联,这些相同的原理也可应用于其他种类的设备和组件。这些可包括需要电力用于其操作的自动银行机器内的其他设备类型。这些可包括许多不同类型的设备,这些设备可另外要求经由配线的供电连接以便其在机器中运行。另外,用于不同应用中的其他类型的设备也可利用所描述的特征。It should be understood that while in the example embodiment shown, data transmission and communication are associated with a pair of coils, in other embodiments, a variety of coil arrangements may be used. These arrangements may include multiple drive circuits and cabinet circuits. Additionally, while in this example circuit, power transfer and communication may be achieved through a common coil, in other embodiments some pairs of coils may be used for communication while other pairs of coils are used for power transfer. In some embodiments, inductive powering of cabinet circuits may be achieved by operating certain circuits for maximum power transfer at the resonant frequency for maximum power transfer, while other circuits are used for communication and operate adjacent to one or more at the resonant frequency. Of course, the approach taken will depend on the specific circuit and power requirements associated with a specific enclosure. Additionally, it should be understood that while the example embodiments are described in connection with wirelessly providing power to a rack within an automated banking machine, these same principles may be applied to other kinds of devices and components. These may include other types of equipment within automated banking machines that require electrical power for their operation. These may include many different types of equipment that may additionally require a power connection via wiring in order for it to operate in the machine. In addition, other types of devices used in different applications may also utilize the described features.

在实例实施方式中,驱动电路1548也操作为检测机柜1500及其关联线圈1540,1542何时被置于操作位置。同样地,驱动电路1548可操作为确定机柜1500何时被移出操作位置时。这可通过监控包括线圈1540的电路中的电气特性来实现。例如,如果机柜1500从相对于线圈1542的邻近操作位置被移开,则可通过驱动电路1548的操作感测到电感负载的移除。为响应检测到该情况,一条或多条信息可被发送至处理器1556。处理器1556可操作为根据其程序采取适当的步骤。这些步骤可包括例如确定包括机柜的外壳是否是被授权维修工打开。这也可包括确定机器是否被置于维修模式,在这种情况下,机柜的移出就是合理的。进一步地,在一些实施方式中,当机柜在与根据和处理器1556关联的程序指令所允许的情况不一致的情况下被移除时,至少一个处理器1556可操作为发出通知或警告。In an example embodiment, thedrive circuit 1548 is also operative to detect when thecabinet 1500 and its associatedcoils 1540, 1542 are placed in the operating position. Likewise, thedrive circuit 1548 is operable to determine when thecabinet 1500 is moved out of the operating position. This can be accomplished by monitoring electrical characteristics in thecircuit including coil 1540 . For example, if thecabinet 1500 is moved from an adjacent operating position relative to thecoil 1542 , the removal of the inductive load may be sensed by the operation of thedrive circuit 1548 . In response to detecting this condition, one or more pieces of information may be sent toprocessor 1556. Theprocessor 1556 is operable to take appropriate steps in accordance with its programming. These steps may include, for example, determining whether the enclosure including the cabinet has been opened by an authorized service technician. This may also include determining whether the machine has been placed in service mode, in which case removal of the cabinet is justified. Further, in some embodiments, the at least oneprocessor 1556 is operable to issue a notification or a warning when the enclosure is removed inconsistently with conditions permitted in accordance with program instructions associated with theprocessor 1556.

同样,实例实施方式的驱动电路1548可被操作为检测机柜1500何时被移到操作位置从而线圈1540与线圈1542邻近。线圈1540与1542互相靠近会引起驱动电路1548的电感负载(其通过电路的操作被检测到)。在一些实施方式中,机柜1500被放置在操作位置可使处理器1556向机柜1500传输数据。数据的传输会引起机柜1500的某些功能的运行,例如门的打开或者其他组件的定位,以便机柜在该自动银行机内运行。可替代地或另外,被传输至机柜的数据可操作为使机柜提供机器使用该机柜(或机柜中的文件)所需的信息。当然,这些方法为实例并且在其他实施方式中,可使用其他方法。Likewise, thedriver circuit 1548 of the example embodiment may be operable to detect when thecabinet 1500 is moved to the operating position such that thecoil 1540 is adjacent to thecoil 1542 . The proximity ofcoils 1540 and 1542 to each other can cause inductive loading of the drive circuit 1548 (which is detected by the operation of the circuit). In some embodiments, placing therack 1500 in the operating position may enable theprocessor 1556 to transmit data to therack 1500 . The transmission of data may cause the operation of certain functions of thecabinet 1500, such as the opening of doors or the positioning of other components, for the operation of the cabinet within the automated banking machine. Alternatively or additionally, the data transmitted to the cabinet is operable to cause the cabinet to provide the information required by the machine to use the cabinet (or the files in the cabinet). Of course, these methods are examples and in other embodiments, other methods may be used.

在另外的实施方式中,可提供机柜与自动银行机之间的安全通信。这可以是可取的,例如,以便控制对机柜内部的进入、机柜通道门的打开或项只有在被授权的情况下才能实现。数据可根据由该机器和柜机的制造商制定的方案通过加密的方式传输。进一步地,在一些实施方式中,公共-专用密钥加密和认证方法可被用来确保机柜操作为只响应于来自已被认证为适合机柜操作的源的信号。这可涉及例如驱动电路和机柜的每一个具有公共-专用密钥对。这些公共-专用密钥对存储在存储器中。公共-专用密钥对可被配置为使得利用密钥对中的公共密钥加密的数据只能使用该密钥对中的专用密钥解密,反之亦然。在一些实例布置中,机柜和驱动电路,在被置于操作性连接或其他情况下时,可分别交换它们的公共密钥。通过交换公共密钥,每个组件都可适当地发送可被其他组件解密的加密数据。这些数据可包括用于认证其他组件为真的数据和/或被授权以操作为与其他组件连接的数据。这可包括例如数字证书或其他被认证为适合允许交互操作的其他值。当然这些方法为实例,并且在其他实例实施方式中,可使用其他方法。In further embodiments, secure communication between the cabinet and the automated banking machine may be provided. This may be desirable, for example, in order to control access to the interior of the cabinet, the opening of cabinet access doors, or items to be achieved only when authorized. The data can be transmitted encrypted according to the scheme established by the manufacturer of the machine and cabinet. Further, in some embodiments, public-private key encryption and authentication methods may be used to ensure that the enclosure operates only in response to signals from sources that have been authenticated as suitable for enclosure operation. This may involve, for example, the drive circuit and the cabinet each having a public-private key pair. These public-private key pairs are stored in memory. A public-private key pair can be configured such that data encrypted with the public key in the key pair can only be decrypted using the private key in the key pair, and vice versa. In some example arrangements, the cabinet and the drive circuit, when placed in operative connection or otherwise, may exchange their public keys, respectively. By exchanging public keys, each component can appropriately send encrypted data that can be decrypted by the other components. These data may include data used to authenticate other components as authentic and/or authorized to operate in connection with other components. This may include, for example, a digital certificate or other value authenticated as appropriate to allow interoperability. Of course these methods are examples, and in other example implementations, other methods may be used.

进一步地,在实例布置中,机柜电路1572可操作为执行为机柜及机柜中可包括的文件提供增强性安全的功能。例如,在一些实施方式中,一个或多个处理器1522可操作为根据它们的程序检测机柜1500从其与机器的关联线圈或多个线圈操作接合的位置中的移开。为响应感测到该情况,机柜电路中的至少一个处理器1522可使门1518或者机柜中的其他通道口关上并锁上。当机柜与在操作位置提供的感应电源分离时,这一点例如可通过电池1534或机柜中可用的其他电源做到。进一步地,至少一个处理器1522可操作为根据其程序采取一些其他步骤以确保机柜安全。如果试图使用非授权方式打开机柜,这可包括例如装备可销毁机柜中的东西的染料堆或燃烧设备1536。可替代地或另外,可通过机柜通信设备1538向远程监控中心或其他适当的地点提供指示机柜位置的信号。进一步地,与机柜相关的情况可被无线发送,以便机柜的位置和/或情况可从远程监控中心监控到。在一些实施方式中,只有当检测到特定情况时才会这样做。但是,在其他实施方式中,这种监控可在大部分时间处进行。进一步地,一些实例机柜与监控中心远程通信的能力可使监控中心销毁机柜内容,或者不然在特殊情况下采取适当的与保护机柜有关的步骤。Further, in an example arrangement, therack circuit 1572 is operable to perform the function of providing enhanced security for the rack and files that may be included in the rack. For example, in some embodiments, the one ormore processors 1522 are operable to detect removal of thecabinet 1500 from its position in operative engagement with the machine's associated coil or coils according to their programs. In response to sensing this condition, at least oneprocessor 1522 in the cabinet circuit may close and lock thedoor 1518 or other access opening in the cabinet. This can be done, for example, bybattery 1534 or other power sources available in the cabinet when the cabinet is separated from the inductive power provided in the operating position. Further, at least oneprocessor 1522 is operable to take some other steps according to its program to secure the enclosure. If an attempt is made to open the cabinet using unauthorized means, this may include, for example, equipping a dye pile or burningdevice 1536 that can destroy the contents of the cabinet. Alternatively or additionally, a signal indicative of the location of the rack may be provided viarack communication device 1538 to a remote monitoring center or other suitable location. Further, conditions associated with the cabinet can be wirelessly transmitted so that the position and/or condition of the cabinet can be monitored from a remote monitoring center. In some implementations, this is done only when certain conditions are detected. However, in other embodiments, such monitoring may occur most of the time. Further, the ability of some instance cabinets to communicate remotely with the monitoring center may allow the monitoring center to destroy the contents of the cabinet, or otherwise take appropriate steps related to securing the cabinet under special circumstances.

可以理解的是,在一些实施方式中,机柜可被配置为只允许机柜在已知的安全环境中被进入或打开。这可包括在授权机器(其可从机柜中加载或卸载文件)上安装机柜。这些机器可包括适合于装载、卸载或修复特定类型的机柜的测试夹具或者装载站或者其他设备。进一步地,机柜可包括另外的特征,这些特征防止该机柜以某些方式使用或被非授权用户使用。这些可包括例如在机柜中包括适当的可检测出虚假文件的电路,所述虚假文件(例如虚假票据或其他项)被罪犯试图传到机器或从中提取的文件项。这种检测电路可通过票据、支票或其他文件上的标记检测其特性,所述标记可被检测作为证明真假状态的证据。进一步地,实例实施方式还可包括存储数据的条款,以便识别已操作为包括给定机柜中的特定文件的特定个人或交易。这可使关于使虚假或可疑文件进入机柜的特定时间、个人、交易或环境的数据修复和恢复。当然,这些方法为实例,并且在其他实施方式中,可使用其他方法。It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the cabinet may be configured to only allow the cabinet to be accessed or opened in a known secure environment. This can include installing the cabinet on an authorized machine that can load or unload files from the cabinet. These machines may include test fixtures or loading stations or other equipment suitable for loading, unloading or repairing specific types of cabinets. Further, the cabinet may include additional features that prevent the cabinet from being used in certain ways or by unauthorized users. These may include, for example, including suitable circuitry in the cabinet that can detect fake documents (eg, fake tickets or other items) that criminals attempt to pass to the machine or extract document items from it. Such a detection circuit can detect the identity of a bill, check or other document by means of indicia on it, which can be detected as evidence of genuine or false status. Further, example embodiments may also include provisions for storing data in order to identify particular individuals or transactions that have been manipulated to include particular files in a given cabinet. This enables data repair and recovery regarding the specific time, person, transaction or environment that brought false or suspicious files into the cabinet. Of course, these methods are examples, and in other embodiments, other methods may be used.

在实例实施方式中,自动银行机和/或机柜可包括具有计算机可执行指令的介质,这些指令可通过处理器的操作来执行,以便执行自动银行机和/或机柜的各种功能。这样的实例计算机可读介质可包括随机存取存储器、只读存储器、可编程只读存储器、磁介质、光存储介质、半导体介质、闪存存储介质或可包含与计算机可执行指令对应的存储数据的其他类型的介质。In example embodiments, an automated banking machine and/or cabinet may include a medium having computer-executable instructions executable by operation of a processor to perform various functions of the automated banking machine and/or cabinet. Such example computer-readable media may include random access memory, read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, magnetic media, optical storage media, semiconductor media, flash storage media, or storage media that may contain stored data corresponding to computer-executable instructions other types of media.

另外的实例实施方式也允许电力和数据通信无线提供给机柜。图5示出了用于机柜1600的供电电路1602。虽然配置不同,电路1602可以以与前文讨论的图4中机柜1500的电路1572相似的方式发挥功能(操作)。也就是说,电路1602和电路1572可用于同样的目的,执行相似的功能。再次,机柜1500,1600可被用于分发或接收各种类型的媒介,例如,现金、支票、礼品卡、邮票、赛票(彩票)、优惠券和文件等。例如,机柜1500,1600可被用于票据分发设备656(图1)、循环设备658(图1)和/或循环机构1442(图2)。组件(例如自动银行机(如ATM)的机柜支架)可装备一个或多个这些媒介机柜。机柜1600可经由与机器组件(如现金提款机模块)的有线连接接收电力和通信。可替代地,机柜可从机器组件无线地接收这样的电力和通信。Additional example embodiments also allow power and data communications to be provided wirelessly to the rack. FIG. 5 shows apower supply circuit 1602 for thecabinet 1600 . Although configured differently,circuit 1602 may function (operate) in a similar manner tocircuit 1572 ofrack 1500 in FIG. 4 discussed above. That is,circuit 1602 andcircuit 1572 may be used for the same purpose, performing similar functions. Again, thecabinets 1500, 1600 may be used to distribute or receive various types of media, such as cash, checks, gift cards, postage stamps, game tickets (lottery tickets), coupons, documents, and the like. For example,cabinets 1500, 1600 may be used for ticket dispensing equipment 656 (FIG. 1), circulation equipment 658 (FIG. 1), and/or circulation mechanism 1442 (FIG. 2). Components, such as rack mounts for automated banking machines such as ATMs, may be equipped with one or more of these media racks.Cabinet 1600 may receive power and communicate via wired connections to machine components such as cash dispenser modules. Alternatively, the cabinet may receive such power and communications wirelessly from machine components.

在另外的实例实施方式中,磁场耦合也可被用于从模块中(如,现金提款机或现金循环装置)通过无线方式电感地传输电力和传递数据至安装在媒介机柜中的电路板。该媒介机柜的线圈可与模块的另一个线圈磁耦合。再次,出于简洁的原因,模块(或机器)线圈(如图4和图5中的线圈1542)在本文中可被称为初级线圈,而机柜线圈1604(类似于图4和图5中的线圈1540)被称为次级线圈。应该理解是,初级线圈和次级线圈1604可分别包含一个或多个(多个)单独的线圈。在另外的实例实施方式中,初级线圈可由半桥MOSFET驱动器馈入,并且可被安置为与电容器串联。电容器与初级线圈的串联组合可产生谐振频率,该谐振频率允许两个线圈之间的电源耦合增强。In further example embodiments, magnetic field coupling may also be used to wirelessly inductively transfer power and data from a module (eg, a cash dispenser or cash recycling device) to a circuit board mounted in a media cabinet. The coil of the media cabinet can be magnetically coupled to another coil of the module. Again, for reasons of brevity, module (or machine) coils (such ascoil 1542 in FIGS. 4 and 5 ) may be referred to herein as primary coils, while cabinet coil 1604 (similar to those in FIGS. 4 and 5 ) may be referred to herein as primary coils. Coil 1540) is referred to as the secondary coil. It should be understood that the primary andsecondary coils 1604 may each comprise one or more (multiple) individual coils. In further example embodiments, the primary coil may be fed by a half-bridge MOSFET driver, and may be placed in series with a capacitor. The series combination of the capacitor and the primary coil produces a resonant frequency that allows for increased power coupling between the two coils.

通过串联电路的电流可被监控,以确保产品在特定范围内运行。例如,当导体被无意放置在初级线圈附近时,造成涡电流在导体内流动,可检测到过量的电流消耗。该涡电流可与初级线圈的磁场相斥并转而引起初级线圈内的更大的电流消耗。The current through the series circuit can be monitored to ensure that the product is operating within a specific range. Excessive current draw can be detected, for example, when a conductor is inadvertently placed near the primary coil, causing eddy currents to flow within the conductor. This eddy current can repel the magnetic field of the primary coil and in turn cause greater current consumption within the primary coil.

源自微处理器或FPGA的方波脉冲信号可被馈入半桥MOSFET驱动器,以便产生相对接近于电容器和初级线圈的谐振频率的频率。如前文讨论的,操作可选择为处于(稍微)高于或低于该谐振频率的频率处,而不是谐振频率处。这样的操作可防止在谐振时产生高电压和电流。A square wave pulse signal originating from a microprocessor or FPGA can be fed into the half-bridge MOSFET driver to generate a frequency relatively close to the resonant frequency of the capacitor and primary coil. As previously discussed, operation may be selected to be at frequencies (slightly) above or below this resonant frequency, rather than at the resonant frequency. Such operation prevents high voltages and currents from being generated at resonance.

初级线圈和次级线圈可使用蚀刻铜迹直接在PCB(印刷电路板)上制造,而不是通过实施离散缠绕线圈制造。该布置可减少安装线圈所需要的物理空间,使完成组件的总体成本保持在较低水平,并且允许线圈容差通过PCB制造方法严格控制。可将铁氧体材料接合至PCB线圈的背部以辅助由PCB线圈产生的磁场的屏蔽和分流,并且还增加初级线圈和次级线圈之间的耦合系数。The primary and secondary coils can be fabricated directly on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) using etched copper traces, rather than by implementing discrete wound coils. This arrangement reduces the physical space required to mount the coil, keeps the overall cost of the completed assembly low, and allows coil tolerances to be tightly controlled by the PCB manufacturing method. Ferrite material can be bonded to the back of the PCB coil to assist in shielding and shunting of the magnetic field generated by the PCB coil, and also to increase the coupling coefficient between the primary and secondary coils.

次级(机柜)线圈1604可被磁耦合到初级(模块)线圈以便在次级线圈上产生感应电压。该AC电压可通过全桥整流器和滤波电容器馈入。因此可产生被机柜中其他下游电路使用的DC电压。次级线圈1604可被放置为与电容器串联,以便形成串联谐振电路。可选择次级线圈1604和串联电容器的元件值,以便串联谐振大致匹配初级线圈的串联谐振频率。如前文所述,该配置可允许初级和次级线圈之间的更加有效地电力传输。The secondary (cabinet)coil 1604 may be magnetically coupled to the primary (module) coil to induce an induced voltage on the secondary coil. This AC voltage can be fed through a full bridge rectifier and filter capacitors. Thereby a DC voltage can be generated that is used by other downstream circuits in the cabinet.Secondary coil 1604 may be placed in series with a capacitor to form a series resonant circuit. The component values of thesecondary coil 1604 and series capacitor may be selected so that the series resonance approximately matches the series resonance frequency of the primary coil. As previously discussed, this configuration may allow for more efficient power transfer between the primary and secondary coils.

从次级线圈1604产生的DC电压随后可被输送至一组稳压器(例如整流器1608、降压变换器1618和低压差稳压器(LDO)1620),其可将进入的电压转换为用于下游电子元件的特定电平。微处理器1610、非易失性存储器、开关、机电设备、和光学传感器可由来自稳压器的电压供电。从次级线圈1604产生的DC电压还可被微处理器监控,以确保该电压在预先设定的范围内。例如,可通过初级线圈的电路(位于模块上)传递电压电平反馈来完成监控。模块可被配备有调节初级线圈的工作频率的能力以增加或降低次级线圈的DC电压。The DC voltage generated from thesecondary coil 1604 may then be delivered to a set of voltage regulators (eg,rectifier 1608,buck converter 1618, and low dropout voltage regulator (LDO) 1620), which may convert the incoming voltage to specific levels of downstream electronic components.Microprocessor 1610, non-volatile memory, switches, electromechanical devices, and optical sensors may be powered by voltage from a voltage regulator. The DC voltage generated from thesecondary coil 1604 can also be monitored by the microprocessor to ensure that the voltage is within a predetermined range. Monitoring can be accomplished, for example, by delivering voltage level feedback through the circuit of the primary coil (located on the module). The module may be equipped with the ability to adjust the operating frequency of the primary coil to increase or decrease the DC voltage of the secondary coil.

可通过使用幅移键控(ASK)法实现从初级线圈至次级线圈的通信。控制半桥MOSFET驱动器的方波脉冲可在两个不同的频率之间变化。这两个不同的频率会引起初级线圈磁场强度的改变。这种变化可被次级线圈感测为电压振幅的改变。这种电压振幅的改变可被用来为数据通信界定(二进制的)逻辑电平“0”和“1”(位)。例如,各种媒介机柜度量数据(如分配计数)可从模块传输至机柜的非易失性存储器以永久保存。Communication from the primary coil to the secondary coil can be achieved by using the Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) method. The square wave pulse that controls the half-bridge MOSFET driver can vary between two different frequencies. These two different frequencies cause a change in the magnetic field strength of the primary coil. This change can be sensed by the secondary coil as a change in voltage amplitude. This change in voltage amplitude can be used to define (binary) logic levels "0" and "1" (bits) for data communications. For example, various media enclosure metrics, such as allocation counts, may be transferred from the module to the enclosure's non-volatile memory for permanent storage.

次级线圈至初级线圈通信可以以与初级线圈至次级线圈通信类似(方向相反)的方式发生。也就是说,从次级线圈向初级线圈的通信也可通过使用幅移键控法来实现。与初级线圈侧不同的是,电容负载可从次级线圈和电容器的串联组合中接通或断开。当电容负载接通时,可改变谐振频率。这种改变可被初级线圈感测为电压振幅的改变。同样地,这种电压振幅的改变也可被用来为数据通信界定(二进制的)逻辑电平“0”和“1”(位)。Secondary-to-primary communication may occur in a similar manner (in the opposite direction) to primary-to-secondary communication. That is, the communication from the secondary coil to the primary coil can also be achieved by using the amplitude shift keying method. Unlike the primary side, the capacitive load can be switched on or off from the series combination of the secondary and capacitor. When the capacitive load is turned on, the resonant frequency can be changed. This change can be sensed by the primary coil as a change in voltage amplitude. Likewise, this change in voltage amplitude can also be used to define (binary) logic levels "0" and "1" (bits) for data communications.

实例布置使模块能够检测已被安置(安装)在模块中或模块上(例如现金提款机)的媒介机柜的存在。一旦检测到,模块就可开始与该机柜进行通信。如前文所述,一组线圈的布置允许在模块与已安装的机柜之间的进行双向或两向通信。The example arrangement enables the module to detect the presence of a media cabinet that has been placed (installed) in or on the module (eg, a cash dispenser). Once detected, the module can begin communicating with the enclosure. As previously mentioned, the arrangement of a set of coils allows for two-way or two-way communication between the module and the installed cabinet.

伴随双向通信,实例布置还允许大量电力在同一组线圈上传输。这种无线电力传输能够实现机电设备(如螺线管)和几个光学传感器的操作。因此,电力可在不使用配线或物理连接的情况下被传输。模块可用作(被驱动)机柜组件的动力驱动。媒介机柜的电路板可包括PCB天线。该天线可用于与智能手机或类似的智能设备进行交互。无线交互可经由工业标准,例如无线射频识别(RFID)或近场通信(NFC)协议。机柜可包括共享存储设备,该存储设备允许从NFC设备到机柜内部微处理器的数据交换。Along with two-way communication, the example arrangement also allows large amounts of power to be transmitted on the same set of coils. This wireless power transfer enables the operation of electromechanical devices such as solenoids and several optical sensors. Thus, power can be transmitted without the use of wiring or physical connections. Modules can be used as power drives for (driven) enclosure components. The circuit board of the media cabinet may include a PCB antenna. This antenna can be used to interact with a smartphone or similar smart device. Wireless interaction can be via industry standards such as radio frequency identification (RFID) or near field communication (NFC) protocols. The cabinet may include a shared storage device that allows data exchange from the NFC device to the microprocessor inside the cabinet.

使用智能设备向和/或从机柜中无线交换数据的能力为机器服务技术人员(如现金管理员)提供了一种便利的通信通道,这可以帮助简化他们的日常工作和任务。例如,当前未安装到模块上的可访问机柜可通过使用智能手机或NFC兼容设备从(或向)该机柜中读取(或加载)数据。该布置允许追踪机柜数据的可替代方法。也可执行用于防止非授权人员向机柜读取或输入信息(数据)的安全特征。可选(原)电池可被用于媒介机柜中以给(驱动)微处理器供电。电池可以是可再充电的或者是不可再充电的。例如,当机柜被安装在模块中,就可通过线圈传输电力来为电池充电。The ability to wirelessly exchange data to and/or from the cabinet using smart devices provides machine service technicians, such as cash handlers, a convenient communication channel that can help simplify their daily tasks and tasks. For example, an accessible cabinet that is not currently mounted on the module can read (or load) data from (or load) the cabinet using a smartphone or NFC compatible device. This arrangement allows for an alternative method of tracking cabinet data. Security features may also be implemented to prevent unauthorized persons from reading or entering information (data) into the enclosure. An optional (primary) battery can be used in the media cabinet to power (drive) the microprocessor. The battery may be rechargeable or non-rechargeable. For example, when the cabinet is installed in the module, power can be transferred through the coil to charge the battery.

当媒介机柜不在模块中时,可依赖电池电源来使机柜能够操作自身的各种组件(例如传感器和微处理器等)。例如,该机柜将具有跟踪各种非同步事件(例如柜盖的状态)的能力。无论何时柜盖被打开和关闭,与这些被感测到的事件对应的数据就会被存储在该机柜的非易失性存储器中。此外,机柜可包括传感器,该传感器监控机柜中进给轮机构的转动。该传感器可被用于检测涉及机柜的干预事件。例如进给轮可被布置为使得当机柜不在模块中时,它不应该转动。如果机柜被卸载,而传感器指示进给轮可被转动,那么这种情况就可作为涉及机柜的(未授权)干预事件被记录下来。因此,电池电源允许机柜干预事件被检测、追踪和存储在非易失性存储器中,以便后续处理。电池的电压电平可被机柜中的微处理器监控。与电压电平相对应的历史数据也可被微处理器记录在存储器中。电压电平数据可被检索和回顾,例如通过机柜服务处理器。因此,该机柜布置允许在电池失效之前提早的低电池电源的指示(通知或预测)。利用这种(感测到的)特征,电池(和机柜)的预防性维修可被计划安排。When the media enclosure is not in the module, battery power may be relied upon to enable the enclosure to operate its various components (eg, sensors, microprocessors, etc.). For example, the cabinet will have the ability to track various asynchronous events such as the status of the cabinet lid. Whenever the cabinet lid is opened and closed, data corresponding to these sensed events is stored in the cabinet's non-volatile memory. Additionally, the cabinet may include a sensor that monitors the rotation of the feed wheel mechanism in the cabinet. The sensor can be used to detect tampering events involving the cabinet. For example the feed wheel may be arranged such that it should not turn when the cabinet is not in the module. If the cabinet is unloaded and the sensor indicates that the feed wheels can be turned, this can be recorded as an (unauthorized) intervention event involving the cabinet. Thus, battery power allows rack tampering events to be detected, tracked, and stored in non-volatile memory for subsequent processing. The voltage level of the battery can be monitored by a microprocessor in the cabinet. Historical data corresponding to voltage levels can also be recorded in memory by the microprocessor. Voltage level data can be retrieved and reviewed, for example, by a rack service processor. Thus, this rack arrangement allows for early indication (notification or prediction) of low battery power before battery failure. Using this (sensed) feature, preventive maintenance of the battery (and cabinet) can be scheduled.

如前文提到的,图5示出了可移动机柜1600的电路电子器件的实例实施方式。可以看出,机柜电路1602可包括近场PCB线圈1604和1606。如前文所讨论的,线圈1604可被置于靠近模块(如现金提款机模块)的(驱动)线圈。线圈1606可具有双接口例如NFC和I2C设备。各种电容器、电阻器、二极管和其他元件也被示出。As previously mentioned, FIG. 5 illustrates an example implementation of the circuit electronics of themovable cabinet 1600 .

A buck converter (eg, 5VDC, 500mA, but those skilled in the art will readily understand that any suitable voltage and current numbers may be used) can be used to step down the voltage provided by the DC. An LDO (eg, 3.3V, 50mA, but those skilled in the art will readily understand that any suitable voltage and current numbers can be used) can be used as a DC linear regulator.

进一步示出的是第一光学传感器1640、第二光学传感器1642、可选柜盖传感器1644和可选进给轮开关1646。第一光学传感器1640可被用于检测压接位置(thumper pickposition)。第二光学传感器1642可被用于检测空栈。柜盖传感器1644可通过用于存在检测的回路起开/关传感器的作用。进给轮开关1646也被布置为具有用于存在检测的回路。Further shown are a firstoptical sensor 1640 , a secondoptical sensor 1642 , an optionalcabinet cover sensor 1644 and an optionalfeed wheel switch 1646 .

图5示出的实施方式可包括电池电源预算,例如,该预算可包括MSP430微型控制器平台(例如,3μA低电量模式3,晶体)的特征;12C EEPROM(0μA;由MSP GPIO pin供电);光电晶体管泄露(2×100nA);重置监控器(0.6μA,最大)。因此总计等于3.8μA。可作出要求,小于8μA寿命是十年以上的使用1000mAh原电池。应该理解的是,图5示出的实施方式为实例,并且本公开包括其他具有其他机柜电路配置的实施方式。The embodiment shown in Figure 5 may include a battery power budget, for example, the budget may include features of the MSP430 microcontroller platform (eg, 3 μA low power mode 3, crystal); 12C EEPROM (0 μA; powered by MSP GPIO pin); Phototransistor leakage (2 x 100 nA); reset monitor (0.6 μA, max). So the total equals 3.8 μA. Requirements can be made, the lifespan of less than 8μA is more than ten years using 1000mAh primary battery. It should be understood that the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is an example and that the present disclosure includes other embodiments having other cabinet circuit configurations.

图6示出了用于发射机的电路电子的实例实施方式。该发射机可以是机器、设备或组件的一部分,例如模块1650。如前文所讨论的,自动银行机可具有若干不同类型的模块,包括现金提款机模块、现金接收设备模块、现金循环模块和/或其他可以接收移动式机柜的模块。虽然配置不同,但图6中示出的电路1652可以以与前文所讨论的图4中的电路1548相似的方式执行功能(操作)。也就是说,电路1652和电路1548可被用于同样的目的,执行相似的功能。Figure 6 shows an example implementation of circuit electronics for a transmitter. The transmitter may be part of a machine, device, or assembly, such asmodule 1650. As previously discussed, automated banking machines may have several different types of modules, including cash dispenser modules, cash accepting device modules, cash recycling modules, and/or other modules that may accept mobile cabinets. Although configured differently, thecircuit 1652 shown in FIG. 6 may perform functions (operations) in a similar manner as thecircuit 1548 in FIG. 4 discussed above. That is,circuit 1652 andcircuit 1548 may be used for the same purpose, performing similar functions.

从图6中可以看出,电路1652可包括控制器1654(例如,LM5106PWM)、线圈1656(例如,近场PCB线圈)、第一N沟道MOSFET1658、第二N沟道MOSFET1660、带通滤波器1662、增益级1664、比较器1666(例如,LMV7271)、缓冲器1668(例如,74LVC2T45)、第一LDO1670(例如,LM317,3.3V,50mA)、第二LDO1672(例如,LM317,12V,50mA)、电流传感器1674(例如,AD8212)、另一个增益级17676和低通滤波器1678。As can be seen in Figure 6, thecircuit 1652 may include a controller 1654 (eg, LM5106PWM), a coil 1656 (eg, a near field PCB coil), a first N-channel MOSFET 1658, a second N-channel MOSFET 1660, abandpass filter 1662,gain stage 1664, comparator 1666 (eg, LMV7271), buffer 1668 (eg, 74LVC2T45), first LDO1670 (eg, LM317, 3.3V, 50mA), second LDO1672 (eg, LM317, 12V, 50mA) , a current sensor 1674 (eg AD8212), another gain stage 17676 and alow pass filter 1678.

如前文所述,通过改变在线圈中产生的磁场强度,数据可通过无线方式从模块传播(传输)至机柜(具有接收线圈)。因此,模块线圈1656在被供给能量时也可用作驱动线圈,从而能够创建电磁场,该电磁场通过电磁感应在机柜的相邻的电磁耦合的(接收)线圈中生产电力。也就是说,相邻线圈的磁耦合可使电力在机柜的电力接收线圈中以电感方式生产。应该理解的是,图6示出的实施方式为实例,并且本发明范围包括具有其他其他发射器电路配置的实施方式。By varying the strength of the magnetic field generated in the coils, data can be wirelessly propagated (transmitted) from the module to the cabinet (with the receiving coil), as described earlier. Thus, the module coils 1656 can also act as drive coils when energized, enabling the creation of an electromagnetic field that produces electrical power in adjacent electromagnetically coupled (receiving) coils of the cabinet through electromagnetic induction. That is, the magnetic coupling of adjacent coils allows power to be produced inductively in the power receiving coils of the cabinet. It should be understood that the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is an example and that the scope of the present invention includes embodiments with other transmitter circuit configurations.

此外,在一些进一步的实施方式中,机柜可被配备有发射机,该发射机有与图6示出的电路布置相似的电路。该机柜发射机可被用来向模块或其他组件传递数据,例如以前文所讨论的方式。Furthermore, in some further embodiments, the cabinet may be equipped with a transmitter having a circuit arrangement similar to that shown in FIG. 6 . The rack transmitter may be used to communicate data to modules or other components, such as in the manner previously discussed.

有关计算机可读介质的术语“非瞬时的”,旨在仅将瞬时信号本身这一主题排除在外,在瞬时信号本身中,介质本身就是瞬时的。术语“非瞬时”不旨在排除其他任何形式的计算机可读介质,包括包含只被暂时性存储或以暂时性方式存储的数据的介质。如果规则改变以允许计算机可读介质自身成为暂时的,那么这种排除就不再有效或不再具有约束力。The term "non-transitory" with respect to computer-readable media is intended to exclude only the subject of transient signals per se, in which the medium itself is transient. The term "non-transitory" is not intended to exclude any other form of computer-readable media, including media containing data that is stored only temporarily or in a transient manner. If the rules are changed to allow the computer-readable medium itself to be temporary, then this exclusion will no longer be valid or binding.

上文所描述的是实例实施方式。当然,不可能描述每一个想得到的组件或方式的组合,但是本领域的技术人员之一将认识到,实施方式的许多进一步的组合和替换是可行的。因此,本申请旨在包含落在根据被公平、合法、公正授权的范围所诠释的所附权利要求的精神和范围之内的所有此类替换、修改和变形。Described above are example implementations. Of course, it is not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or means, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many further combinations and permutations of embodiments are possible. Accordingly, this application is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the breadth to which they are fairly, legally, and equitably entitled.
